Relationships between Plant Architecture Traits and Cotton Yield within the Plant Height Range of 80–120 cm Desired for Mechanical Harvesting in the Yellow River Valley of China

Agronomy, 2019
Mechanical harvesting has become inevitable for cotton production in China due to the rising labor cost in the country. It usually requires a moderate plant height and compact plant architecture.

IPT9, a cis-zeatin cytokinin biosynthesis gene, promotes root growth

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Cytokinin and auxin are plant hormones that coordinate many aspects of plant development. Their interactions in plant underground growth are well established, occurring at the levels of metabolism, signaling, and transport.

Ethylene in Plant Growth [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973
Ethylene inhibits cell division, DNA synthesis, and growth in the meristems of roots, shoots, and axillary buds, without influencing RNA synthesis. Apical dominance often is broken when ethylene is removed, apparently because the gas inhibits polar auxin transport irreversibly, thereby reducing the shoot's auxin content just as if the apex

Growth-Promoting Characteristics of Fungal and Bacterial Endophytes Isolated from a Drought-Tolerant Mint Species Endostemon obtusifolius (E. Mey. ex Benth.) N. E. Br

Plants, 2023
Endophytes are primarily endosymbiotic bacteria and fungi that colonize the interior tissues of their host plant. They enhance the host plant’s growth and attenuate adverse effects of biological stress. Endophytic species of many indigenous plants are an

Effects on plant growth produced by Azotobacter paspali related to synthesis of plant growth regulating substances

, 1974
Summary. Treating seedling roots of several plant species with cultures of Azotobacter paspali changed plant growth and development and significantly increased weight of leaves and roots; effects were probably caused by plant growth regulators.

Plant Growth Regul.

, 2007
Adventitious shoots induced from maca calli on induction media without rare earth elements (REE) had higher water content and lower soluble protein concentration when compared with shoots sprouted from maca seeds. Due to lower activities of antioxidative

Monitoring of Cotton Boll Opening Rate Based on UAV Multispectral Data

Remote Sensing, 2023
Defoliation and accelerating ripening are important measures for cotton mechanization, and judging the time of defoliation and accelerating the ripening and harvest of cotton relies heavily on the boll opening rate, making it a crucial factor to consider.
